- Why it matters
- The NCB is narrowing its enforcement focus to a specific category of offenders rather than pursuing trafficking broadly, which signals a reallocation of resources toward cases involving illegal foreign presence.

- Whether the NCB announces specific operations or arrests under this new focus in coming weeks.
